"Xue'er, be careful!" Ming Zhi Tian hugged Yan Li Xue and dodged.
Yan Li Xue marveled at Ming Zhi Tian's reaction speed. Although he was only at the third level of Qi Cultivation, far below her own third level of Ascending Dragon, he handled everything with such ease. He truly was the man she had chosen.
The two-headed ancient ferocious beast roared, "If I hadn't been bound here a thousand years ago, how could I be bullied by you two little brats?! I am a dignified being of the Transcendent Realm, ninth level. How dare you toy with me?! Give me your lives!"
Ming Zhi Tian murmured, "Transcendent Realm?"
Suddenly, the blizzard transformed. One blizzard tornado became two, sweeping up all the surrounding pebbles. The small stones collided, sparking an unknown fire.
If it had possessed three heads just now, its strength would have crushed them both. But this ancient ferocious beast was too arrogant, underestimating Ming Zhi Tian.
Ming Zhi Tian said, "It seems this is the ancient ferocious beast's limit. As long as we defeat its other two heads, the beast's body will collapse on its own!"
Yan Li Xue, with her keen intellect, a worthy talent from a prominent family, added, "It has four eyes, and we have two pairs. We'll split left and right to lure it, finding its blind spots to strike!"
"Good." Ming Zhi Tian agreed. The two then took to the air, circling the ancient ferocious beast on its left and right sides. Even with its two blizzard tornadoes, it couldn't overwhelm Ming Zhi Tian and Yan Li Xue for the moment.
As the ancient ferocious beast continuously unleashed its blizzard tornadoes to attack them, Ming Zhi Tian and Yan Li Xue used their respective magical artifacts to ward off the damage.
Time slowly passed. Ming Zhi Tian and Yan Li Xue simultaneously found the blind spots of the beast's two heads.
Instantly! Ming Zhi Tian used his proudest technique, Sky Rain. The ancient ferocious beast thought a helper had arrived, but as it was distracted, Ming Zhi Tian found an even greater opening.
Manipulating water into a fist, he punched through the ancient ferocious beast's outer armor! Its head bled. Ming Zhi Tian's fist, however, was fractured. He quickly took a "Hundred Grade Tendon and Bone Quenching Pill" from his storage bag and swallowed it. The fracture instantly healed.
A single pill costing hundreds of thousands was not for nothing. Ming Zhi Tian threw another punch! The ancient ferocious beast's second head was instantly destroyed.
Meanwhile, Yan Li Xue unleashed her family's ultimate technique, the Hundred Pleated Pear Blossom Fist. First, she used her top-grade artifact, the Wind Treading Shoes, to leap and dance on the ancient ferocious beast's head, drawing its attention. Then, from its blind spot, she delivered a devastating blow!
With three of the ancient ferocious beast's heads eliminated, its main body slowly lost its vitality.
Looking at the cold iron gauntlets on Ming Zhi Tian's hands, it recognized something. "You are! That person's?... Martial Saint!..." The eyes of its third head lost their light and died with unwillingness and indignation.
Suddenly! Cold light flashed on Ming Zhi Tian. He broke through to the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, and then to the fifth!
Yan Li Xue was stunned. "Heaven, what's going on? The aura of your breakthrough is so powerful, and you're breaking through consecutively?"
Ming Zhi Tian slowly opened his eyes as he reined in his aura. "To tell you the truth, I am a Martial Cultivator, so I gain experience through combat, which leads to breakthroughs." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Yan Li Xue was perplexed. "Our Fist King family is also composed of Martial Cultivators, but we are half Martial and half Arcane, considered dual cultivators. How can you accumulate experience and break through solely through combat?"
Ming Zhi Tian looked at his hands. "I'm not sure either. Perhaps it's related to the cultivation method I practice."
Ming Zhi Tian and Yan Li Xue put away their magical artifacts. Seeing Ming Zhi Tian attach an invisibility charm to his cold iron gauntlets, Yan Li Xue couldn't help but ask, "Heaven, what is this?..."
Ming Zhi Tian smiled slightly. "I was once robbed clean by a bandit sect leader, so I have to be cautious."
Yan Li Xue nodded. "Invisibility charms can only hide for a while. When encountering powerful beings, you'll still be discovered."
Ming Zhi Tian said, "I understand that. For now, this will have to do."
Then he recalled the ancient ferocious beast's dying words. "It mentioned Martial Saint earlier? That's my master, the Saint. Could it be that it was trapped here by my master?"
Yan Li Xue said, "I've never heard you mention your master or family. May I ask?"
